I've ordered a Gap 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20 inch Bartlein barrel. I will be reloading for the creedmoor using the 140gr hybrid bullet.
Does anyone shoot the Gap 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor? what kind of results have you gotten and what type of bullet and powder do you use?

Gap makes a fine rifle so it must shoot great.
 
You should be able to use the typical loads for 140 Hybrids. 41-43g of 4350, I’m at 42.7 but you may need to be more OAL conscious. Biggest thing with a gas gun is you don’t want to be anywhere near max pressure. Popping primers sucks. Although I love the Hybrids, I’m switching to ELD-M because they are comparable BC and way cheaper.

Loved my 308 gas gun and was going to grab a 6.5 barrel but a gas gun is not a bolt gun so have reasonable expectations. I expected 1” groups and when I get a 3/4 or a 1/2” group Im glad. But again, don’t expect that to Be the norm like with a bolt gun holding 3/8-1/4”.
